About the Project
The York Name Study project serves as a collaborative platform to collect information on the York name. The hope is that other researchers like you will join the study to help make it a valuable reference point for other genealogists who are researching or have an interest in the York.
As a One Name Study, this project is not limited to persons who are related biologically. Individual studies can be used to branch out the research into specific methods and areas of interest, such as geographically (England Yorks), by time period (18th Century Yorks), or by topic (York DNA, York Occupations, York Statistics). These studies may also include a number of family branches which have no immediate link with each other. Some researchers may even be motivated to go beyond the profile identification and research stage to compile fully sourced, single-family histories of some of the families they discover through this name study project.
Also see the related surnames and surname variants. In addition, we are looking to (in)validate existing research as to whether there is a connection between the Yorks of New York and the Yorks of the South and elsewhere.

Interesting reading! I am wondering if anyone in this project can help me out?

I've just stumbled across this by accident, and have no direct current link or interest in this study. However, my y-DNA haplogroup is I-FT216670, which I know is very rare (only 8 tested on FTDNA). I can tell you that my paternal ancestral line is Parkinson, and goes back to about 1700 in Lincolnshire, England.
